Today, I got a call from my 8-year-old's 3rd grade teacher. Apparently a question went around class asking, "Why do you think you were put on this Earth?", and my son answered, "My dad says it's because I swam the fastest." FML

This is exactly why you have to watch what you say around them. This one is on YOU and DAD for not doing this. The kid was repeating what he heard, which is a normal child response when they might not know something. This is not an FML, you brought it upon yourselves. Way to F your kid's Life.

Why that probably wasn't the best thing to tell a young kid, since they often repeat stuff in front of people who shouldn't hear your jokes. If you're going to make a joke about sperm, at least have it be physiologically correct op. Your son wasn't the "sperm who swam the fastest" he was the fertilized egg who was able to successful stick to the uterine wall. Just bc a sperm fertilizes, doesn't mean it'll stick.
